the kind folks at the wolstein center hooked us up with the elevated courtside suite for the game and also threw in beers, nachos, hot dogs, hot pretzels and cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeese sauce - they sure knew how to treat us right.

plus, to top it off, CSU won!

post game we headed to staple CSU bar, becky's, where i quite possibly tasted one of the best wings ever.... i need to go back and try them out again to be sure though.

friday brought date night with my dear muffin where we dined at luxe kitchen and lounge drinking "joys" and "blooms" and dipping fruit in their fabulous goat cheese fondue which if given the opportunity i would drink for breakfast.

after dinner muffin and i headed back to the wolstein center for salt-n-pepa's legends of hip hop tour where thanks to the cab never coming to get us we sadly missed, kurtis blow, doug e fresh and rob base but got in our loge seats just in time for whodini.

by the time salt-n-pepa took the stage muffin and i headed down to the floor to dance out butts off. the rap due put on a GREAT show, they sounded just like their albums and looked good while doing it. the audience though, they kinda sucked - it's like they couldn't wait for the concert to be over, it was so weird.

post concert we ran into alana on the street and walked over to the clevelander before heading home for the night because we were shooped out.saturday afternoon brought a delicious lunch at deagan's kitchen and bar and quality hangout time with my favorites, beaver, muffin, MOB and babs.

i have to go on record and say that every time i go to deagan's i love it more and more. their food is ridiculously good, foodie good, and after my lunch of a ruben with thick cut corned beef and sweet potato fries was perfect.

after was mauled out food MOB, muffin and i decided to belly up to the bar for "one drink".

famous last words right?

well, muffin kept to her one drink promise, MOB and i? not so much.

next thing we knew we were having a beer tasting with deagan himself!

what should we try next deagan??

from tasting all those beers i realized one thing, i don't do hoppy beers. but i do do moscow mules and surprisingly deagan's makes a damn good one - copper cup and all!6 hours and 3 inches of snow later MOB and i were still at deagan's, natch. it was a great way to spend a snowy saturday in cleveland if i do say so myself. the difference between MOB and i though is that i went home around 7pm and MOB went home around 2am - loves it.

a great weekend in cleveland?

i'd say yes - and to think i still have a superbowl party to go to which obvy isn't going to be written about in this post because, surprise, it hasn't even happened yet, (ahhh, the power of scheduling blog posts).

Some would say I'm a 36-year-old marketing professional who has been blogging about her life in Cleveland since '08. I would say I love cooking, drinking bubbles and wearing black. My Mom (and husband) would say I'm just nuts.
